Hi Everyone,

If you are making plans for the weekend, please consider taking in Bike Winnipeg's Fall Fundraising Concert on Saturday, October 1st at the West End Cultural Centre featuring the rollicking folk rock of Rory Verbrugge & The Ruckus with special guest William Prince. Tickets are just $15 in advance (or $20 at the door) and are available at ticketfly.com, the West End Cultural Centre, Into the Music and Music Trader. Doors are at 7:15pm, show starts at 8pm.

Armed with a rich, rootsy sound, Rory Verbrugge & The Ruckus invigorate traditional folk with rocking juke-joint blues, heartbreaking home-grown country and blistering bluegrass. Fresh off the release of their debut album, Dead Man’s Dance, and a well-received tour of Western Canada, Rory Verbrugge & The Ruckus deliver a mix of glitz and grit to the stage that has garnered critical acclaim across the country. A must-see for every fan of real music and a good time.

“…one of Canada’s best up-and-coming folk outfits.” – Canadian Beats Magazine

William Prince is a storytelling singer/songwriter from Peguis First Nation who sidesteps clichés to provoke thought and facilitate discovery. His baritone vocals pay tribute to his late father and his genuine delivery acknowledges the hundreds of hours he’s spent on stage.
